We are alike in that respect then @newageinv. I also am an introvert. No doubt about it …

”However, after an hour of "working the room," I am exhausted and looking towards the exits without saying goodbye. I am great to attend events as I try not to be anti-social but I do admit to be the first to leave more often than not. I have tried to modify the behavior but it is often repeated.”

Long ago, I learned something in a seminar that has stuck with me. As you say here, you were tired. I found working 20 years in sales and marketing, that I could do it. Actually, I performed quite well. But … It took a lot out of me. For others, they seemed to breeze along, with no problem. This seminar explained this was the difference between introverts and extroverts. For introverts, socializing and engaging like that consumed a great deal of energy. For extroverts, it was the exact opposite. They were actually being energized by it! My energy was draining away. They were sucking it up! 😊 No wonder I would finally leave and, at times, a bit early, while they carried on into the night ...

Interesting your perspective on applying this to our engagement on Steem. I’ll have to give it more thought, as I have always considered it to be a pretty introspective sort of activity. Sitting here by myself, looking at a computer screen, and typing (and mousing … 😉) away …

Hope you and yours are all doing well. Summer is almost over!
